Being that this guy is family – it’s pretty much a given for me to say I’ve known him his whole life. I’m pretty proud of this cousin of mine and everything he has accomplished. We are all looking forward to seeing what you do in the future Grey! You’re bound to do great things, pal! Keep up the fantastic work! 
Catching up with Kieran and his mom for his graduation session back in June was an incredibly special experience. I remember Mr. K from his first years of school and seeing how proud his mom is of him and how excited he was to be finishing up those long years of school was a blast. Keep up all of the amazing work Mr. K! You rock! 
Mitchell graduated from the High School this June and we celebrated with an early family session around town. I don’t believe Mitchell was too pleased with me when I told the fam-jam to give him a big bear hug – but he put up with it none-the-less 😉
Congratulations Mitchell!
Emma and I share a very strong obsession with reality T.V. – and for that I think she’s an incredibly rad chick. Upon meeting we chatted about our love for Survivor (Starts again on Wednesday girl!) and I knew instantly that she’s in my good books! 
Miss Taryn is one super cool girl. She has some many awesome hobbies – and she had great ideas of how to incorporate those hobbies into her graduation session.
And she’s absolutely stunning!
Thanks for having me come out and meet you and your family Taryn! ❤
2015 was a spectacular year with lots of beautiful weddings, adorable newborns, fun families and couples, brilliant graduates and everything in between. Thank you so much to all of my wonderful clients – you’ve made my dreams as a photographer come true! Thank you also to my amazing family for supporting me and believing that I could get it all done! It was a year for the record book!
I’m so excited for what 2016 will bring! I think it is going to be another busy busy year with wedding season already over half booked up with so many amazing couples!
Here’s a look-in at each of the milestones I had the opportunity to photograph this year!
On September 18th I photographed the love between Mark and Kjirsti at Hastings Lake Bible came – and it was spectacular. Kjirsti had thought out every detail to match her Downton Abbey theme perfectly. From her vintage dress, the men in perfectly tailored suits, lanterns in the place of bouquets for the ladies, and even guests dressed in the vintage theme – the day flowed perfectly.
It was such a pleasure to be part of this wonderfully thought out wedding day.

I met Chantelle and Kyle through my friend Courtney who I went to University with! I’ve photographed many weddings with Courtney by my side so I was quite excited to have the opportunity to hang out with her and meet her super awesome friends! Chantelle and Kyle have been together for over 11 years and they tied they knot this August at The Glenmore Inn & Convention Center in Calgary! These two were both so kind and welcoming and I hope I can visit them again soon!
Chelsey and Jeff got married on a weekend that was filled with sun, clouds, and some rain. We were lucky enough that the rain stayed away until after the outdoor ceremony and still have some time for family and bridal party photos. We were also quite lucky to have some amazing hospitality for a photo session at the 1979 Taphouse and Grill.

Haley’s graduation session was on one of the most beautiful nights this summer! There were beautiful skies every direction we turned and she and her sister have such gorgeous smiles! It was so much fun hanging out with these two beauties!
